Pace University

Ranked the №1 private, four-year University in the nation for upward economic mobility by Harvard University’s Opportunity Insights, Pace University provides a transformative education for its diverse students—academically, professionally, and socioeconomically.

Pace prepares students to become leaders in their fields by providing an education that combines exceptional academics with real-world experiences including internships, research, civic engagement, and study abroad.

Pace combines the benefits and resources of a large university with the personalized attention and focus associated with a small college, with an average class size of only 20 students and a 14:1 student to faculty ratio. Academic experiences at Pace emphasize teaching from both a practical and theoretical perspective, drawing on the expertise of full-time and adjunct faculty members who balance academic preparation with professional experience to bring a unique dynamic to the classroom. Research is a cornerstone of the Pace educational experience and in FY2019, Pace received more than $9.4 million in research grant funding. Their faculty’s commitment to intellectual discourse and research is surpassed only by their desire to help students realize their dreams.

With three campuses located in and around New York City, Pace offers students a diverse selection of living and learning experiences. The New York City Campus in Lower Manhattan, recently renovated with ultramodern facilities, collaborative learning spaces, and residence halls, is within walking distance to Wall Street, South Street Seaport, and the Brooklyn Bridge, and a subway ride from all that the city has to offer. The Pleasantville Campus in Westchester County, only an hour by train from New York City, offers students the traditional suburban collegiate setting with state-of-the-art renovations on a 200-acre bucolic campus and 14 NCAA Division II teams. The White Plains Campus, home to the Elisabeth Haub School of Law, is situated in the heart of White Plains’ buzzing suburban sprawl. These three strategic locations are regularly cited as a top reason why students choose to attend Pace University.

Pace is a university whose resources have played an essential role in the realization of individual dreams of achievement, and whose mission is voiced in the motto: Opportunitas.

FINANCIAL AID FOR INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS

Pace offers limited financial support in the form of academic merit scholarships to freshmen international students admitted to the University. An application for merit scholarships is not required. Your application for admission serves as your scholarship application. Applicants are notified of any award in their acceptance packet. International students cannot apply for financial support after they are admitted. Pace University will consider an academic merit scholarship, based on the past academic performance, when evaluating the student's application for admission.

International graduate students who have demonstrated exceptional academic abilities may be eligible for Dean’s or President’s scholarship; eligibility is determined by the time of admission. International graduate students who have shown academic accomplishment in the past, skills, and related experience are qualified for graduate assistantships (full or part-time).
